The eighth annual issue of this voluminous and now well-known work 

 has just come to hand, and as usual contains a great number of very important 

 papers. Prof. Wilson, of Philadelphia, has contributed a fine paper on the 

 Lungs and Pleura. Other papers of considerable importance are by Prof. L. 

 C. Gray and Drs. Pritchard and Shultz on Diseases of the Brain ; Prof. Ober- 

 steiner on Diseases of the Spinal Cord ; Prof. Rubino, of Naples, on Diseases 

 of the Stomach, Liver, and Pancreas. The article by Dr. Dujardin-Beaumetz 

 on General Therapeutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry is exceedingly good. 

 The entire work is divided into sixty-two sections, and the letterpress, plates, 

 illustrations, and binding are as good as could possibly be desired.

This useful little book contains a series of samples for experiment, and 

 another for observation. The experiments are simple, and consist principally 

 in the application of chemical tests. The observations require the use of the 

 microscope. The directions in the book refer only to the simplest methods of 

 detecting adulterations. There are 36 very good illustrations.

 found useful by those who are engaged in the examination of food and drugs. 

 It gives instructions for the analysis of most of the common articles of food, 

 such as Milk, Cheese, Bread, Flour, Tea, Coffee, Cocoa, various Spices, etc. 



Helps to Health and Beauty. By a Pharmaceutical Chem- 

 ist. Post 8vo, pp. 117. (London : James Clark & Co. 1895.) Price i/-.

Arnold's Pupil Teacher's Book of Memory Maps. Divi- 

 sions I, 2, and 3. Long 4to. (Leeds : E. J. Arnold.) Price 1/4 each. 



Maps in ordinary use are too much crowded with names and details to 

 serve as good copies for those who are only learning geography. The object of 

 this series of Maps is to provide copies suitable for Memory work, which will 

 bring into prominence only important features and altogether suppress unim- 

 portant ones.
